Sunday Worship Service "Sticky Justice"

October 15, 2023 • Pastor Chris Pappenfus • Daniel 9:4–19

This week, we continue to explore ways to develop a sticky faith in your own life while nurturing this kind of faith in others. Intentional conversations and relationships (where people feel safe, seen, soothed, and supported in their faith formation), help to build one another up in faith. However, at some point, we must put our faith into action outside the walls of our institutional religion and familiar relationships; we must follow our LORD into places which seem dark and spiritually oppressive. Jesus claimed to be God’s light in our world. He then commanded the Church to be His light in the world. We understand that to mean that the Church is sent to the least, the lost, and the left behind as bearers of Jesus’ good news. We do not turn a blind eye to sin in our world. We confront abuse, hatred, and oppression. We are invited to join God in God’s work of bringing justice and righteousness. But what does that mean in our world and how does such a commitment result in creating a stickier faith? This week, we explore the importance of Sticky-Faith Justice in developing and nurturing an enduring faith in Jesus Christ.
